Quotes

  • I, who don't believe in war, don't want to be buried under any flag. If anything I would like to be remembered for my dreams. Should I die one day - in a hundred years - I would like to have what Nelson Mandela said on my gravestone: "A winner is a dreamer who has never stopped dreaming". Vittorio Arrigoni: a winner.
  • I believe there are different types of resistance, there is an armed resistance and there is another resistance: a civil resistance.
  • I don't believe in borders, barriers, flags. I believe that we all belong, regardless of latitudes and longitudes, to the same family, which is the human family.
  • [Referring to Israeli-Palestinian conflict] I knew I was coming to see terrible things, but not such terrible things.
  • In the end, even if history has some bad pupils, it somehow teaches.
  • Justice and human rights cannot be selective.
